STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Deck Layout 2.9 Main features The main features, shared with those developed for the A320/A321/A330 family are: - Sidestick controllers which leave the main instrument panel unobstructed. -Six interchangeable and switchable display units (DU) which are integrated into the same system architecture (EFIS/ECAM). Other features evolve directly from the concepts introduced with the A300/A310 family, including the : -Ergonomic layout of panels, synoptically arranged according to frequency of use (normal, abnormal, emergency) and located within easy reach and visibility for both crew members. - Philosophy of panels (e.g., lights out philosophy for overhead panel). - Principles of information presentation (need to know concept). - Monitoring of systems through an Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor (ECAM). - Coherent system of color coding for EFIS, ECAM and panel lights.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Deck Layout 2.10 Sidestick arrangement Sidesicks are installed on the Captains and First Officers forward lateral consoles. To facilitate control, a dual pivot adjustable armrest with position indicators is fitted on each seat behind the sidestick. The handgrip includes two switches : - A/P disconnect/sidestick priority pushbutton - Push-to-talk button Pitch adjustment Displays Neutral Radio Take-over PB (A/P disconnection or take-over from opposite sidestick)

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Deck Layout Moving the sidestick results in setting the aircraft trajectory with a certain level of g for the requested maneuver, depending on the amount of sidestick movement. Accuracy of movements is very precise since backlash and friction are negligible Control of the flight path is performed by the Electronic Flight Control System (EFCS) which links the trajectory order with aerodynamic data to stabilize the aircraft and protect it from prohibited attitudes. Sidestick released : return to neutral Sidestick released : return to neutral Sidestick operation

STL /90 Issue 6 3. Electrical System 3.1

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Electrical System 3.2 Electrical power generation The electrical power generation is comprised of : Four engine-driven AC generators, nominal power 75 kVA. One auxiliary power unit (APU) AC generator nominal 115 kVA. One emergency generator Constant Speed Motor /Generator) (CSM/G), nominal power 5.5 kVA, hydraulically driven by the Green system. One static inverter fed by two batteries and working either on ground or when CSM/G inoperative. Two ground connectors, power 90 kVA. DC network supplied via two main Transformer Rectifier Units (TR) (200 A) and one essential TR (100 A). A fourth TR (200 A) is dedicated to APU start or to APU battery charging. Two batteries nominal capacity 37 Ah, 28 V each and one APU battery : -On ground : To provide an autonomous source mainly for APU starting. - In emergency configuration : To feed some equipment during RAT deployment or when CSM/G not operating (BAT 1+2).

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Electrical System 3.3 Distribution - normal configuration AC distribution network In normal configuration, each engine-driven generator supplies its associated AC BUS. The AC ESS BUS is normally supplied from AC BUS 1-1. DC distribution network In normal configuration, normal DC systems are split into two networks : DC BUS 1 in parallel with DC BAT BUS and DC BUS 2. Each DC network is supplied by its own TR. More specifically, ESS TR systematically feeds DC ESS BUS, which allows a better segregation between DC 1 and DC 2. Two batteries are connected to the DC BAT BUS via the Battery Charge Limiter (BCL). Each battery has its own HOT BUS bar (engine/APU fire squib, ADIRS, CIDS, PRIM and SEC computers, slide warnings, parking brake, etc). The third battery is dedicated to APU starting.

STL /90 Issue 6 TOTAL LOSS OF ALL MAIN GEN A340 Electrical System 3.4 Distribution - abnormal configurations Generator failure If one generator fails, another will automatically take over : If APU is operative, APU generator will take over. If APU generator is not available, the same side, external generator will take over. If same side generator is not available, the opposite side external generator will take over. In case of a total loss of all main generators : The EMER GEN will deliver 5.5 kVA since the Green hydraulic system is still powered by engine- driven pumps or In case of loss of all engines : The EMER GEN will deliver 3.5 kVA since the Green hydraulic system is then powered by the RAT ; in this case, the batteries take over when slats are extended. TR failure If one TR fails, the other will automatically take over its corresponding DC network via DC BAT BUS, In case of double TR failure : TR 1 and 2 : DC BUS 1 and DC BUS 2 are lost TR 1 (or 2) and ESS TR : The remaining TR supplies DC BUS and DC BAT BUS ; the DC ESS BUS is lost.

5. Flight Controls - EFCS 5.1

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.2 Electronic Flight Control System (EFCS) Surfaces : All hydraulically activated All electrically controlled Mechanical back-up control : - Rudder - Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS).

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.3 General The A340 fly-by-wire system was designed and certificated to make this new aircraft more cost effective, more pleasant to fly, and more comfortable than conventional aircraft. Basic principles A340 flight control surfaces are all : - Electrically controlled -Hydraulically activated. Stabilizer and rudder can be mechanically controlled. Sidesticks are used to fly the aircraft in pitch and roll (and indirectly through turn coordination, in yaw). Pilot inputs are interpreted by the EFCS computers for moving flight controls, as necessary to achieve the desired pilot commands. The computers prevent from : - Excessive maneuvers - Exceedance of the safe flight envelope.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.4 Computers Electrical control of the main surfaces is achieved by two types of computers : Three Flight Control Primary Computers (PRIM) which can process all three types of control laws (Normal, Alternate, Direct) Two Flight Control Secondary Computers (SEC) which can process the Direct Control Law. These computers perform additional functions including : Speedbrakes and ground spoiler command Characteristic speed computation (PRIM only). High-lift devices are commanded by two Slat/Flap Control Computers (SFCC). The SFCCs also command the aileron droop via PRIM or SEC. In order to provide all required monitoring information to the crew and to the Central Maintenance System (CMS), two Flight Control Data Concentrators (FCDC) acquire the outputs from the various computers to be sent to the ECAM and Flight Data Interface Unit (FDIU). These two FCDCs ensure the electrical isolation of the flight control computers from the other systems. Cockpit controls Each pilot has a sidestick controller to exercise control of pitch and roll. The two sidestick controllers are not coupled mechanically, and they send separate sets of signals to the flight control computers. Two pairs of pedals, which are rigidly interconnected, give the pilots mechanical control of the rudder. The pilots control speedbrakes with a lever on the center pedestal. The pilots use mechanically interconnected handwheels on each side of the center pedestal to control the trimmable horizontal stabilizer. The pilots use a single switch on the center pedestal to set the rudder trim. There is no manual switch for trimming the ailerons.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.5 Power sources Electrical power supply The flight control computers PRIM, SEC and FCDC are fed by various DC busbars. This ensures that at least two flight control computers are powered, in the event of major electrical power losses such as : - Failure of two main systems, or - Electrical emergency configuration (CSM/G), or - Battery-only supply.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.6 Power sources Hydraulic power supply Three hydraulic circuits (Green, Yellow, Blue) power the flight controls. Note : The distribution to the various control surfaces is designed to cover multiple failure cases.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.7 Safety objectives Safeguards were designed to protect against : Loss of pitch control - extremely improbable (<10 -9 ) Loss of elevators- extremely remote (< ) Loss of roll control - extremely improbable Permanent loss of THS - extremely improbable Rudder loss or runaway - extremely improbable To satisfy these objectives, the following architecture applies: - Electrical signalling for spoilers, elevators and ailerons -Electrical and mechanical signalling in parallel for rudder and THS.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.8 Dispatch objectives The basic objective is to allow aircraft dispatch with a peripheral or computer failure, in order to increase dispatch reliability without impairing flight safety. Systems 3 IRS 2 yaw rate gyros 3 PRIM 2 SEC 3 ADR 3 IR - 2 N z accelerometers 2 FCDC 3 PRIM/2 SEC Electro hydraulic and electro actuators Dispatch situation Maximum 1 inoperative or off Maximum 1 inoperative if it is not connected to 2 computers No-go items are inboard aileron, elevator and yaw damper actuators.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.9 Design principles Two types of flight control computers : PRIM (two channels with different software for control/monitoring). SEC (two channels with different software for control/monitoring). Each one of these computers can perform two tasks : - Process orders to be sent to other computers as a function of various inputs (sidestick, autopilot…) - Execute orders received from other computers so as to control their own servo-loop. The three primary or main computers (PRIM) : Process all control laws (Normal, Alternate, Direct) as the flight control orders. One of the three PRIM is selected to be the master ; it processes the orders and outputs them to the other computers (PRIM 1, 2 and 3, SEC 1 and 2) which will then execute them on their related servo- loop. The master checks that its orders are fulfilled by comparing them with feedback received ; this allows self-monitoring of the master which can detect a malfunction and cascade control to the next computer. Each PRIM is able to control up to eight servo-loops simultaneously ; each can provide complete aircraft control under normal laws. The two secondary computers (SEC) : Are able to process direct laws only Either SEC can be the master, in case of loss of all primary computers Each SEC can control up to 10 servo- loops simultaneously ; each can provide complete aircraft control. Electrically controlled hydraulic servo-jacks can operate in one of three control modes depending upon computer status and type of control surface : Active : The servo-jack position is electrically controlled. Damping : The servo-jack position follows the surface movement. Centering : The servo-jack position is maintained neutral.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.12 Pitch control

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.13 Pitch control Pitch control is provided by two elevators and the THS : - Elevator deflections 30° nose up - 15° nose down - THS deflections 14° nose up - 2° nose down. Each elevator is actuated by two independent hydraulic servo control units : - L. ELEV is driven by Green and Blue hydraulic jacks; - R. ELEV is driven by Green and Yellow hydraulic jacks. One servo control is in active mode, while the other is in damping mode. In case of a failure on the active servo-jack, it reverts to damping mode, while the other becomes active. In case of electrical supply failure to both servo-jacks of one elevator, these revert to centering mode which commands a 0° position of the related elevator. Autoflight orders are processed by one of the primary computers. Sidestick signals, in manual flight, are processed by either one of PRIM 1 and 2, or SEC 1 and 2. The THS is driven by two hydraulic motors supplied by Blue and Yellow systems ; these motors are controlled either : - By three electrical motors with their associated electronics controlled by one PRIM each, or - By mechanical command from control wheels located on the central pedestal. The control wheels are used in case of major failure (Direct Law or mechanical back-up) and have priority over any other command.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.14 Roll control

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.15 Roll control Roll control is provided by two ailerons and five spoilers (2 to 6) per wing : - Aileron deflection is ± 25° - Spoiler max deflection is -35°. Each aileron is driven by two electrically-signalled servo- controls which are connected to : - Two computers for the inboard ailerons (PRIM 1 or 2 and SEC 1 or 2), - One computer for the outboard ailerons (PRIM 3, SEC 1 or 2), -One servo-control is in active mode while the other is in damping mode. Above 300 kt, in autopilot mode and in some failure cases, the outboard aileron is centered to prevent any twisting moment. In manual mode (above 190 KT, in CONF 0) the outboard ailerons are centered. Each spoiler is driven by one electro-hydraulic servo control which is connected to one specific computer. In the event of a failure being detected on one spoiler, the opposite spoiler is retracted and maintained in a retracted position. Autopilot orders are processed by one of the primary computers. Sidestick signals, in manual flight, are processed by either one of the primary or secondary computers. Note :If the RAT is deployed to provide Green hydraulic power, the outboard ailerons servo- controls revert to damping mode in order to minimize hydraulic demands.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.16 Yaw control

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.17 Yaw control Yaw control is provided by one rudder surface : - Rudder deflection ± 31.6°. The rudder is operated by three independent hydraulic servo-controls, with a common mechanical input. This mechanical input receives three commands : - Rudder pedal input limited by the Pedal Travel Limitation Unit (PTLU) ; - Rudder trim actuator electrical input ; - Yaw damper electrical input. The mechanical input is limited by the Travel Limitation Unit (TLU) as a function of airspeed in order to avoid excessive load transmission to the aircraft. This function is achieved by the secondary computers. The rudder trim controls the rudder pedal zero load position, as a function of pilot manual command on a switch located on the pedestal (artificial feel neutral position variation). This function is achieved by the secondary computers. Yaw damper commands are computed by the primary or secondary computers. In case of total loss of electrical power or total loss of flight controls computers, the Back Up Yaw Damper Unit (BYDU) becomes active. Autoflight orders are processed by the primary computers and are transmitted to the rudder via the yaw damper servo-actuator and the rudder trim actuator. Note : In the event of loss of both yaw damper actuators, the yaw damping function is achieved through roll control surfaces, in which case at least one spoiler pair is required.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.18 Left intentionally blank

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.19 Additional functions devoted to ailerons and spoilers Ailerons Ailerons receive commands for the following additional functions : Maneuver Load Alleviation (MLA) : Two pairs of ailerons are deflected upwards 11° max. (added to roll demand, if any) to reduce wing loads in case of high g maneuver. Lift Augmentation (aileron droop) : Two pairs of ailerons are deflected downwards to increase lift when flaps are extended. Spoilers Spoilers receive commands for the following additional functions : Maneuver Load Alleviation : Spoilers 4, 5 and 6 (max 9° deflection symmetrically) Ground spoiler functions : Spoilers 1 to ° max for spoiler ° max for spoilers 2 to 6 Speedbrake functions : Spoilers 1 to ° max for spoiler ° max for spoilers 2 to 6 Six spoilers and two pairs of ailerons perform these functions in the following priority order : The roll demand has priority over the speedbrake function. The Maneuver Load Alleviation (MLA) function has priority over the speedbrake function. If one spoiler surface fails to extend, the symmetrical surface on the other wing is inhibited. Speedbrakes are inhibited when AOA protection is active, when MLA is active, or when in CONF3 or CONF FULL.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.20 Slats/flaps controls

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.21 Slats/flaps High lift control is achieved on each wing by : - Seven leading edge slats, - Two trailing edge flaps, - Two ailerons (ailerons droop function). Slat and flaps are driven through similar hydromechanical systems consisting of : - Power Control Units (PCU), - Differential gearboxes and transverse torque shafts, - Rotary actuators. Slats and flaps are electrically-signalled through the SFCCs : -Control lever position is obtained from the Command Sensor Unit (CSU) by the two SFCCs. -Each SFCC controls one hydraulic motor in both of the flap and slat PCUs. Aileron droop is achieved through the primary computers, depending on flap position data received from the SFCC. The SFCC monitors the slats and flaps drive system through Feedback Position Pick-off Units (FPPU) located at the PCUs and at the outer end of the transmission torque shafts. Wing Tip Brakes, (WTB) installed within the torque shaft system and controlled by the SFCC, prevent asymmetric operation, blow back, or runaway. A pressure-off brake, provided between each hydraulic motor of the PCU and the differential gearboxes, locks the slat or flap position when there is no drive command from the SFCC. Flight Warning Computers (FWC) receive slat and flap position data through dedicated Instrumentation Position Pick-off Units (IPPU) for warnings and position indication on ECAM display units.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.23 Controls and displays Overhead panel Pushbutton switches on the overhead panel allow disconnection or reset of the primary and secondary computers. They provide local warnings. Side 1 computer switches on the left-hand side are separated from those of side 2 computers on the right- hand side. Glareshield Captain and First Officer priority lights, located in the glareshield, provide indication if either has taken the priority for his sidestick orders. Lateral consoles Captain and First Officer sidesticks, located on the lateral consoles, provide the EFCS computers with pitch and roll orders. They are not mechanically coupled. They incorporate a take-over pushbutton switch. Central pedestal - Speedbrake control lever position is processed by the primary computers for speedbrake control. A ground spoiler position commands ground deceleration. -Rudder trim switch and reset pushbutton switch are processed by the secondary computers. The local rudder trim position indication is repeated on the ECAM FLT/CTL system page. -Flap control lever position is processed by the SFCC. It allows selection of high-lift configurations for slats and flaps. Lever position indication is repeated in the flap section of the ECAM engine and warning display. - Pitch trim wheels allow the setting of the THS position for takeoff. They permit manual pitch trim control. Main instrument panel ECAM display units and PFDs present warnings and status information of the Flight control system. Permanent indication of slat and flap positions are given on the ECAM engine/warning display. Remaining flight control surface positions are given on the FLT/CTL system page, which is presented on the ECAM system/status display. Rudder pedals Interconnected pedals on each crewmembers side allow mechanical yaw control through the rudder.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.25 Control law introduction Flight through computers Depending upon the EFCS status, the control law is : - Normal Law (normal conditions even after single failure of sensors, electrical system, hydraulic system or flight control computer). According to the number and nature of subsequent failures, it automatically reverts to : - Alternate Law, or - Direct Law. Mechanical back-up During a complete loss of electrical power, the aircraft is controlled by : - Longitudinal control through trim wheel, - Lateral control from pedals. Overall Normal Law Schematic

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.26 Normal Law - flight mode Basic principle -No direct relationship between sidestick and control surface deflection. -The sidestick serves to provide overall command objectives in all three axes. -Computers command surface deflections to achieve Normal Law objectives (if compatible with protections). Highlights

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.27 Normal Law - flight mode Objectives Pitch axis : Sidestick deflection results in a change of vertical load factor. The Normal Law elaborates elevator and THS orders so that : -A stick movement leads to a flight path variation. -When the stick is released, flight path is maintained without any pilot action, the aircraft being automatically trimmed. Lateral axis : Sidestick deflection results in initiating roll rate. Roll rate demand is converted into a bank angle demand. The Normal Law signals roll and yaw surfaces to achieve bank angle demand and maintain it - if less than 33° - when the stick is released. Pedal deflection results in sideslip and bank angle (with a given relationship). Pedal input - stick free - results in stabilized sideslip and bank angle (facilitates de-crabbing in crosswind). Adapting objectives to : Ground phase : ground mode -Direct relationship between stick and elevator available before lift-off and after touch-down. -Direct relationship between stick and roll control surfaces. -Rudder : Mechanical from pedals + yaw damper function. -For smooth transition, blend of ground phase law and load factor (N z ) command law at takeoff. Flight phase : flight mode The pitch Normal Law flight mode is a load factor demand law with auto trim and full flight envelope protection. The roll Normal Law provides combined control of the ailerons, spoilers 2 to 6 and rudder. Landing phase : flare mode - To allow conventional flare. - Stick input commands a pitch attitude increment to a reference pitch attitude, adjusted as a function of radio altitude, to provide artificial ground effect.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.28 Normal Law - flight mode Engine failure or aircraft asymmetry By virtue of fly-by-wire controls and associated laws, handling characteristics are unique in the engine failure case : - With no corrective action : Stabilized sideslip and bank angle Slowly diverging heading Safe flight - Short-term recommended action : Zero sideslip or target (take-off) with pedals Then stabilize heading with stick input Steady flight with stick free and no pedal force (rudder trim). This feature is made possible since roll controls can be fully deflected with sidestick neutral. The optimal pilot rudder application results in optimum climb performance. No corrective actionCorrective action (blue ) (yellow )

Precise piloting Turn coordination Dutch roll damping Sideslip minimization Passenger comfort Reduced pilot workload Increased safety Protection does not mean limitation of pilot authority. Full pilot authority prevails within the normal flight envelope. Whatever the sidestick deflection, computers have scheduled protections which overcome pilot inputs to prevent : - Excessive load factors (no structural overstressing) ; - Significant flight envelope exceedances : Speed overshoot above operational limits Stall Extreme pitch attitude Extreme bank angle. Normal Law - protections Load factor protection Design aim To minimize the probability of hazardous events when high maneuverability is needed. Load factor limitation at : g, -1 g for clean configuration + 2 g, 0 g when slats or flaps are extended. Rapid pull-up to 2.5 g is immediately possible.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.30 High speed protection Design aims To protect the aircraft against speed overshoot above V MO /M MO. Non-interference with flight at V MO /M MO. Principle When speed or Mach number is exceeded (V MO + 6 kt/M MO ) : - Automatic, progressive, up elevator is applied (.1 g max) - Pilot nose-down authority is reduced. Results Maximum stabilized speed, nose-down stick : V MO + 15 kt M MO High angle-of-attack protection Design aims - Protection against stall -Ability to reach and hold a high CL angle (sidestick fully back), without exceeding stall angle (typically 3°/5° below stall angle) : good roll maneuverability and innocuous flight characteristics. -Elimination of stall risk in high dynamic maneuvers or gusts. -Non-interference with normal operating speeds and maneuvers. -Load factor limitation maintained. -Bank angle limited. -Available from lift-off to landing. Windshear protection Windshear protection is ensured by : - SRS mode - Speed trend indication - Wind indication (speed and direction) - Flight path vector - Windshear warning -Predictive windshear function of weather radar (optional).

STL /90 Issue 6 Pitch attitude protection Design aim To enhance the effectiveness of AOA and high-speed protection in extreme conditions and in windshear encounter. Principle Pilot authority is reduced at extreme attitude. Result Pitch attitude limited : - Nose-down 15° - Nose-up 30°reduced to 25° at low speed Bank angle protection - When the stick is released above 33°, the aircraft automatically rolls back to 33°. - If the stick is maintained, bank angle greater than 33° will be maintained but limited to 67°. -When overspeed protection is triggered :. Zero bank angle is commanded with stick at neutral.. Max bank angle is limited to 45°. - When angle-of-attack protection is triggered, max bank angle is limited to 45°. Low energy warning A low energy aural warning SPEED, SPEED, SPEED is triggered to inform the pilot that the aircraft energy becomes lower than a threshold under which, to recover a positive flight path angle through pitch control, and at which the thrust must be increased. A340 Flight Controls - EFCS 5.31 High angle-of-attack protection Principle When the AOA(*) is greater than AOA prot, the basic objective defined by sidestick input reverts from vertical load factor to AOA demand. Result -AOA protection is maintained, if sidestick is left neutral. -AOA floor results in GA power with an ensuing reduction of AOA. -AOA max is maintained if sidestick is deflected fully aft. Return to normal basic objective is achieved if the sidestick is pushed forward. (*) AOA =

The Braking and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) is a digital dual-channel double system (control and monitoring) computer controlling the following functions: - Normal braking system control ; - Antiskid control (normal and alternate) ; - Autobrake function with LO, MED, MAX ; - Nosewheel steering command processing ; - Brake temperature signal processing ; - Monitoring of all these functions.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Landing Gear Antiskid system schematic 6.6

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Landing Gear 6.7 Antiskid system From touchdown, aircraft speed is computed based on touchdown speed (wheels) and integrated deceleration (ADIRS). This reference speed is compared with each wheel speed to generate a release order for closing the normal servovalve in case of skid exceeding 16%. Brake pedal orders open this servovalve which is also modulated by antiskid closing signals. Autobrake system From touchdown, a specific speed is computed, based on touchdown speed (wheels) and programmed deceleration (low, medium, max). This programmed speed is compared with each wheel speed to generate a release order for closing the normal servovalve to meet selected deceleration. If the reference speed exceeds programmed speed (contaminated or iced runways), the former will take over for the antiskid to modulate the normal servovalve. Braking principle

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Fuel System 7.3 The Fuel System is automatically controlled by the Fuel Control and Monitoring System (FCMS). The FCMS operates in a fully automatic mode. Two identical Fuel Control and Monitoring Computers (FCMC) provide : - Fuel quantity measurement and indication ; - Fuel transfer control ; - Center of gravity control ; - Level sensing ; - Fuel temperature indication ; - Refuel control ; - Aircraft gross weight and center of gravity calculation based on zero fuel weight and zero fuel center of gravity entered by the crew ; - Signals to FADEC for IDG cooling control. Control and monitoring

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Fuel System 7.4 In normal operation, each engine is independently supplied by a continuously operating booster pump, located in a dedicated collector box. In the event of a pump failure, each engine is automatically fed by a standby pump. Collector boxes are maintained full by a jet pump transfer action using booster pump pressure. In cruise conditions, a single booster pump is able to supply flow to all four engines. A crossfeed valve is associated with each engine. It connects the engine and its associated pumps to the X-FEED line. This allows any pump to supply any engine. All crossfeed valves open automatically in electrical emergency configuration and during jettison operation. Supply of fuel to each engine may be shut off by an engine LP valve driven by a double motor actuator. It is controlled by either the ENG FIRE pushbutton or the ENG master lever. Automatic control of transfer from center to inner tanks is initiated, provided either center tank pump pushbutton is selected on. With fuel in the center tank and CTR TK pumps running, both inner inlet valves are used independently to cycle the inner tank contents between underful and high level. (Underful is set at approximately 2000 kg below high level). When the center tank is empty, the pumps are automatically controlled off, and both inner inlet valves lose. Automatic transfer of fuel from the outer tanks is performed by gravity. This occurs when center and trim tanks have been emptied and when either inner tank reaches 4000 kg. Outer tank fuel transfer valves are used to cycle the inner tanks contents between 4000 and 4500 kg. These valves are closed when outer tanks are empty for 5 minutes. Transfer to inner tanks can be manually selected through the OUTR TK XFR pushbutton. When selected ON, all inner tank fuel transfer, outer inlet and inner inlet valves are controlled OPEN. Automatic control of transfer from ACT to center tank occurs after takeoff slats restriction, provided the center tank contains less than kg. Engine feed

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Fuel System 7.5 The jettison pipe is connected to the refuel gallery in each wing. A dual actuator jettison valve is fitted. Fuel is simultaneously jettisoned from the center and inner tanks. All cross-feed valves open automatically. All normal and STBY pumps are running and a forward transfer into center tank is initiated. The aircraft weight will be reduced at a rate approximately 1000 kg per minute (excluded fuel burn). Jettison is stopped when : - The crew deselects the jettison pushbutton ; - Any inner tank low level sensor becomes dry ; - A signal from the FCMC indicates that the remaining fuel on board reaches a value previously defined by the crew via the FMGS MCDU (Option : Preselection of gross weight after jettison).

Aft transfer - If the center tank is not empty, fuel is transferred from the center tank to the trim tank through the trim pipe isolation valve and the trim tank inlet valve, using the CTR TK pumps. - If the center tank is empty, fuel is transferred from the inner tanks to the trim tank through the aft transfer valves, the trim pipe isolation valve and the trim tank inlet valve, using engine feed pumps. In this case, cross-feed valves 2 and 3 are open. - Aft transfer is terminated when : Computed CG = target CG -0.5%, or When an inner tank reaches the low level. Forward transfer : - Forward transfer is required when : Computed CG = target CG. - If the center tank is not empty, fuel is transferred by the trim tank forward transfer pump from the trim tank to the center tanks through the auxiliary forward transfer valve. - If the center tank is empty, fuel is transferred by the trim tank forward transfer pump from the trim tank to the inner tanks through the trim pipe isolation valve. - Forward transfer is terminated when : Computer CG = target CG -0.5% In descent below FL 245 (see diagram on page 7.6), or by an FMGS time-to-destination signal, or at jettison operation, a forward transfer is initiated.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Fuel System 7.10 Refueling system

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Fuel System 7.11 Refueling Two standard 2.5 inch couplings are installed under the each wing. When both couplings are used, refueling time at nominal pressure (50psi) is approximately 33 minutes. An isolation valve is provided between each pair of couplings and the refueling gallery. A refueling inlet valve is provided for each tank, allowing distribution to a diffuser to reduce turbulence and avoid electrostatic build-up. An automatic refueling system controls the refuel valves to give preselected fuel load and correct distribution. Refueling/defueling is controlled from an external panel, located in the fuselage fairing under the RH belly fairing and can be carried out with battery power only. Optional : Auto-Refueling can be controlled from the cockpit. Gravity refueling can be achieved by overwing refueling points. Defueling is accomplished by means of fuel pumps and, for the outer and trim tanks, via transfer valves.

8. Engine Controls 8.1

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Engine Controls 8.2 FADEC Thrust control is operated through Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) computers which : - Command the engines to provide the power best- suited to each flight phase ; - Automatically provide all the associated protection that is required : Either in manual mode (thrust levers), or In automatic mode (autothrust) with fixed thrust levers. Engine performance and safety improvement over current hydro-mechanical control systems : - Simplification of engine/aircraft communication architecture. - Reduction of crew workload by means of automatic functions (starting, power management). - Facilitate on-wing maintenance. The system design is fault-tolerant and fully duplicated, with graceful degradation for minor failures (i.e. sensor failures may lose functions but not the total system). The engine shut-down rate, resulting from FADEC failures, will be at least as good as todays latest hydro-mechanical systems with supervisory override. FADEC also called Engine Control Unit (ECU) is a fully redundant digital control system which provides complete engine management. Aircraft data used for engine management is transmitted to the FADEC by the Engine Interface Unit (EIU). Each engine is equipped with a fan-case-mounted FADEC supporting the following functions : - Gas generator control ; - Engine limit protection ; - Engine automatic starting ; - Engine manual starting ; - Power management ; - Engine data for cockpit indication ; - Engine condition parameters ; - Reverser control and feedback ; -Fuel recirculation control / fluids temperature management ; - Fuel used computation ; - Integrated PMUX function.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Engine Controls 8.5 Thrust control system Engine thrust control is provided by the FADEC 1, 2, 3 and 4, controlling engines 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Thrust selection is performed by means of : -Thrust levers, when in manual mode; -A/THR function of the FMGS, when in automatic mode, but limited to the value corresponding to the thrust levers position. Limit thrust parameters are computed by the FADEC. Since there is no mechanization of the thrust levers (no servomotor) any thrust lever displacement must be performed manually. Depending on the thrust lever position, the FADEC computes : - Thrust rating limit, - N1when in manual mode, - N1which can be achieved in automatic mode (A/THR).

This pilot interactive system provides : - Flight management for navigation, performance prediction and optimization, navigation radio aids tuning, and information display management, - Flight guidance for autopilot commands (to EFCS), flight director command bar inputs and thrust commands (to FADECs), - Flight envelope and speed computation. The FMGS offers two types of guidance which are obtained via the AP/FD : - Managed: Guidance targets are automatically provided by the FMGS, as a function of lateral and vertical flight plan data entered in the Multipurpose Control and Display Units (MCDU). - Selected : Guidance targets are selected by the pilot on the glareshield Flight Control Unit (FCU). Selected guidance modes always have priority over managed guidance modes.

On the ground, setting the thrust levers to the TO/GA or FLEX/TO detents leads to AP/FD mode engagement (SRS/RWY). During approach, setting the thrust levers to TO/GA engages go-around mode. - By action on the FCU selection knobs (speed selection knob, HDG/TRK selection knob, altitude selection knob, V/S-FPA selection knob). Push action engages managed mode. Pull action engages selected mode (example : speed or Mach selected mode pushed in flight engages managed speed profile (usually ECON)).

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Guidance Function AP/FD operationLateral modes The aircraft can be operated in selected guidance with flight references selected by the crew, or in managed guidance with references computed by the system. If the AP/FD controls a vertical trajectory, the A/THR controls the target SPEED/MACH. If the AP/FD controls a target speed, the A/THR controls the thrust. Selected guidance always has priority over managed guidance, which means that the PF may select a speed, lateral or vertical path at any time; actions are acknowledged on the FCU itself and on the FMA (Flight Mode Annunciator). Selected guidance or managed guidance is available for SPEED/MACH control, LATERAL guidance, and LEVEL CHANGE execution. NAV : Lateral navigation Lateral track is defined by the FMGC, according to the flight plan introduced in the system. LOC : LOC axis capture and track LOC is armed if LOC pushbutton is pressed; LOC capture replaces NAV. HDG/TRK Selection of HDG/TRK references is obtained by turning the dedicated switch located on the FCU. HDG/TRK is engaged by pulling on lateral selector; HDG/TRK value can be selected before or after pull action. Heading track preselection is possible on ground before takeoff, and in flight starting from a height of 30ft.

ILS not available, RNAV approach selected on MCDU : -LATERAL guidance on the F-PLN -VERTICAL guidance and descent allowed down to MDA. Takeoff SRS : -With engines running V holding ; - With one engine out VA (1) holding if VA>V2, V2 holding if VA<V2. (1) VA = Aircraft speed when engine failure occurs. RWY : - Track hold or LOC centerline hold. Go-aroundSRS (as for takeoff) ; GA TRK hold. Level changes [managed guidance (CLB, DES), selected guidance (OP CLB, OP DES)]. In CLB/DES modes vertical path is maintained as defined by the FMGC, taking into account the flight plan constraints inserted in the system and the clearance altitude selected on the FCU. OP CLB (OP DES) mode allows uninterrupted aircraft climb or descent towards the FCU selected altitude, maintaining a TARGET SPEED (managed or selected) with a fixed given thrust. ALT constraints are ignored. Altitude hold The altitude mode is active : - when the aircraft reaches the FCU altitude, or -when the ALT pushbutton is pressed, or -when V/S is set at zero, or - when in DES or CLB mode, the aircraft reaches a flight plan altitude constraint. V/S FPA V/S FPA is engaged by pulling on V/S FPA selector. V/S or FPA value can be selected before or after a pull action. Level off by pushing the V/S / FPA selector (equivalent to a zero V/S / FA selection + mode engagement).

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Autothrust Function st case : AP/FD pitch mode controls a vertical flight path (V/S or G/S or FINAL,) then A/THR mode controls the target speed/Mach. e.g. If AP/FD V/S mode is selected, then A/THR is in SPEED mode. 2nd case : AP/FD pitch mode controls the target speed/Mach, then A/THR mode controls the thrust. e.g. If AP/FD open CLB mode is selected, then A//THR is in THR CLB mode AP/FD and A/THR mode interaction

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Autothrust Function AP/FD and A/THR SPD/MACH modes SPD/MACH managed mode : Is engaged by pushing the FCU SPD selector knob. AP/FD or A/THR holds the SPEED/MACH, as provided by the FMS. Speed preset for next flight phase is available by entering preset value on the MCDU; speed preset becomes active at flight phase change. Crossover altitude is automatically provided. SPD/MACH selected mode : Is engaged by pulling the FCU SPD selector knob. Crossover altitude is automatically provided. Manual SPD/MACH selection is available to the pilot via the SPD/MACH conversion pushbutton. AP/FD and A/THR SPD/MACH modes : SPEED/MACH managed or selected may either be controlled by AP/FD pitch mode or A/THR mode. The reasons for this are as follows : An AP/FD pitch mode may control a flight path or an indicated airspeed - but not both at the same time. Thus, if the pitch mode (elevator) controls a flight path, (G/S of V/S) the A/THR controls the IAS, but if the pitch mode controls a speed (OPEN CLB/OPEN DES), then the A/THR will control a thrust. Consequently, AP/FD pitch mode and A/THR are linked so that, if no AP/FD is engaged, A/THR can be active in SPD/MACH mode.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Autothrust Function A/THR operation - A/THR can be armed, active or de-activated

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Autothrust Function A/THR main features Each engine thrust is electrically controlled by the associated FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) which is fully integrated in the autothrust system. The A/THR function is computed in the FMGC. The FADECs receive A/THR commands directly from the AFS via an ARINC 429 bus. Selection of thrust limit mode is obtained from the Thrust Lever Angle (TLA).

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Autothrust Function A/THR mechanization The thrust levers can only be moved manually by the pilot. Takeoff Thrust mode selection : -On ground TO limit mode is automatically selected at power up. -FLX/TO limit mode is selected by setting a FLX/TO temperature on the MCDU (TO page). Takeoff is performed : -In limit mode, by manually setting the thrust lever to TO/GA detent. -In FLX/TO limit mode, by manually setting to FLX/TO/MCT detent. Notes : -In both cases, this maneuver also engages FD TO mode (SRS RWY if ILS selected). - The lowest FLX/TO thrust is limited to CL thrust. Cruise Thrust levers must be set : -To be CLB detent -To the MCT detent (engine failure case). -The A/THR modes become active according to AP/FD mode selection. Approach Thrust levers must be set to CLB (or MCT engine failure case) detent : - ATS SPD mode is active Go Around GA mode engagement is achieved by setting the thrust levers to TO/GA detent ; (A/THR armed ; GA thrust is applied via the FADEC). This maneuver also engages AP/FD GA mode. Alpha floor If the alpha floor function is activated, A/THR increases the thrust to the GA thrust limit.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Flight Management Flight envelope protection Flight envelope protection is achieved by generating maximum and minimum selectable speeds, windshear warning and aft CG warning. Also computed as part of this protection are the maneuvering speed and the flap and slat retraction speeds. The alpha-floor signal is computed by the flight control computers.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Flight Management MCDU ND

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Flight Management Lateral navigation Position computation : - Before flight, the three IRSs are aligned on airfield or gate position (manually or via database). -At takeoff, the position is automatically updated to the runway threshold. -In flight, position updating is computed using radio navaids (DME, VOR, ILS and GPS when available). The FMGC position is a blend of IRS and radio position. On a medium-term basis, the FM position will tend towards the radio position, if any drift occurs. Navigation mode selection : -If the aircraft is equipped with GPS primary, the FMGC uses the GPIRS position in priority (IRS- GPS mode). - If the GPIRS position is not available, or if the aircraft is not equipped with GPS primary, depending upon the availability of navaids and sensors, FMGC automatically uses the best navigation means to compute the most accurate position : - IRS - DME/DME - IRS - VOR/DME - IRS - ILS/DME - IRS only. The FMGC position is associated with a high or low criterion, which is based on an Estimated Position Error (EPE). This EPE depends upon the flying area (en route, terminal, approach) and is permanently compared to Airworthiness Authorities Accuracy Requirements (AAAR). - If EPE > AAAR, then LOW is displayed on MCDU and the position must be cross-checked with raw data (ADF/VOR needles, DME reading). - Each time HIGH (or LOW) reverts to LOW (or HIGH) the message NAV ACCUR DOWNGRAD (or UPGRAD) is displayed on NDs and MCDUs.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Flight Management Radio navigation Each FMGC tunes its own side radio navaids, except when in single operation : -One VOR, one ILS, one ADF (if belonging to the F- PLN) and five DMEs may be autotuned at the same time. - Manual tuning always has priority over autotuning. -Autotune priority rules are according to FMGS logic ; For example : VOR autotune (frequency course) priority is : - Manual tune, - Specified navaid for approach, - Radio position computation, -Display purpose logic. Five DMEs can be scanned simultaneously -One DME for display purposes ; -Two DMEs for radio position computation when in DME/DME mode ; -One DME for VOR/DME position comput- ation when in VOR/DME mode ; - One DME is linked to ILS/DME.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Automatic Flight System - Flight Management Vertical profile Takeoff SRS control law maintains V up to thrust reduction altitude where max climb thrust is applied. V is held up to acceleration altitude (ACC ALT). Climb Energy sharing is applied for acceleration (70% thrust) and for altitude (30% thrust) from ACC ALT up to first climb speed. Max climb thrust is kept - altitude and speed constraints are taken into account. CRZ Steps may exist and/or may be inserted. Descent Top of Descent (T/D) is provided on ND. From T/D down to the highest altitude constraint, ECON descent speed is held by the elevator and IDLE thrust by the A/THR. If this status can no longer be held or maintained, geometric segments will be followed between the constraints.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Environmental Control System 11.2 Air conditioning schematic

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Environmental Control System 11.3 Air conditioning The hot compressed air is cooled, conditioned and delivered to the fuselage compartments and then discharged overboard through two outflow valves. Fresh air can also be supplied to the distribution system through two low-pressure ground connections. A ram air inlet supplies emergency air to the fuselage, if there is a complete failure of the air generation system during flight. A mixing manifold, mixes fresh air with cabin air. The cabin air that enters the underfloor area, is drawn through recirculation filters by fans. The recirculation fans then blow the air through check valves to the mixing manifold. The flight deck is supplied by fresh air only. Hot bleed air is tapped downstream of the pack valves. The air flows through two hot air valves which control the pressure of the hot trim air going into two hot air manifolds. To control the temperature in the different upper deck zones, the quantity of trim air added is controlled through the cockpit and cabin temperature control system. Hot air is delivered to the air supply ducts through the related zone trim air valves. The trim air valves are controlled through the temperature requirements of each zone and duplicated for cabin zone flexibility. The trim air system has several features to ensure that no substantial comfort degradation occurs in case of trim air valve or hot air valve failure; a hot cross-bleed valve is installed between the two hot air manifolds and will open to maintain trim air supply to all riser ducts, in the event of hot air failure (blocked closed). Moreover, in the event of trim air valve failure (blocked open) and/or duct overheat, as the shut-off valve is normally closed and there are two riser ducts per cabin zone, only half of each zone will lose its trim air supply. The flight deck is permanently supplied by a constant restricted trim air flow, in addition to the normal controlled trim air supply. In addition, all packs and zone temperature control systems are duplicated or have back-up modes, a simple failure has no influence on flight deck and cabin comfort. All computers have a segregated two-line concept. Packs have built-in flow and temperature back-up regulation modes to overcome any failure case, including air cycle machine seizure.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Environmental Control System 11.6 Avionics ventilation

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Environmental Control System 11.7 Ventilation Avionics ventilation Provides ventilation and cooling of avionics and electronic equipment under digital control (without any crew intervention) by the Avionic Equipment Ventilation Controller (AEVC). Cabin fans (or packs as a back-up) provide blown air to the avionics compartment. Extract fan (continuously on) blows air through the overboard valve (on ground), or the under-floor valve (in flight). Manual control partially opens the overboard valve (fan failure or cockpit smoke removal). Pack bay ventilation Maintains a mean temperature compatible with the structure constraints. In flight, air is fed from outside through a NACA air inlet. On ground, air is blown by a turbofan which is driven by the air bleed system. Battery ventilation Provided by ambient air being drawn around the batteries and then vented directly outboard via a venturi. Lavatory and galley ventilation Provided by ambient cabin air, extracted by a fan and exhausted through a venturi at the aft of the aircraft near the outflow valves.

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Environmental Control System 11.8 Cabin pressure control

STL /90 Issue 6 A340 Environmental Control System 11.9 Pressurization The pressurization control system is fully automatic. It is a dual system, with automatic switchover after failure. Each system is alternatively used from one flight to the other. Two outflow valves are operated by any of three independent electric motors. These two valves are associated with the automatic controllers. In normal operation, cabin altitude and rate of change are automatically controlled from FMGC flight plan data : - Cruise flight level, landing field elevation, QNH ; - Time to top of climb, time to landing. In case of dual FMGC failure, the crew has to manually select the landing field elevation. The cabin altitude varies according to a pre-programmed law. In case of the failure of both pressurization system auto- controllers, the manual back-up mode is provided via the third outflow valve motor.

Back-up tuning: When both FMGCs are inoperative, any NAV receiver may be tuned by the crew from RMP 1 or 2. Each RMP controls the on side receivers (except ILS is tuned by either RMP 1 or 2). When one FMGC is inoperative, the remaining one controls all receivers.
